Description:
- The pericos are small plumb bobs that were carried by the master builders in their pockets.
- They were used to check the vertical, using them from a distance, and that is why they rarely had a nut.
- Even so, some pericos are equipped with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Bronze plumb bob, with a fixed head and without a nut.
- This perico has the Heinz brand on one side, so we deduce that it is a promotional gift made by Heinz years ago, probably in the decade of the 40s and 50s approximately.
- The perico has the face of an Indian carved on it, in great detail.
- Although it is not very old, it is a rare and very curious piece, different from the usual plumb bobs.
- It is very important that the object has a Distinctive, Mark or Contrast, in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.
- The plumb bob was probably made in Southern Europe.

Conservation and Damage:
- The plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
- A very good and beautiful patina has been preserved throughout the plumb bob.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it’s age.

Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector's item and as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed description of the object.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
